I had to watch it again! Hey Dan I will take one of those not quite what I am looking for everyday of the week🤣😂🤣

Unreal moment. That’s an incredible bull to be proud of and what a crazy chain of events for him to even stop again after seeing and smelling you.

Holy cow. This is quite possibly some of the most majestic and well shot video I’ve ever seen of a hunt. You and your camera man, and your videographer should be commended by all for your amazing work here. It’s such a blessing to watch a man living his best life. Kudos to you, Sir. Just amazing. I’d give anything to be out there on that hunt. AND WHAT A BULL!!!!! Holy cow! How many pounds of meat do you get out of an animal like that?

You finally got him. The other bulls weren't small either. I thought you were waiting for an elephant. lol

If I was a big old bull who lived a good long life I would want to go out by a whistle in the wind rather than by a bear or a pack of wolves. What a good shot.

Big man.

I heard about this hunt video dropping while listening to Brian Barney's Eastman's Elevated. He was right that is a big bull. I was wondering how he was going to get that bull way out in the open field, but since they were all on fire he was able to draw him into the burn and even use the horses as a decoy. Elk don't know how many legs a horse has. lol .... I know my heart would be pounding out of my chest for sure and not just from hiking. Congrats to you Dan and your biggest bull to date. I have yet to go elk hunting, I am from West Virginia. I hope to go in the next 5 years.

I did go with my Dad and youngest bro to Idaho last fall for mule deer although I didn't have a tag. I just wanted to help and enjoy the experience. I planned on doing a 10 day mule deer/pronghorn combo hunt in Wyoming this fall but all kinds of circumstances caused me to not apply and just buy points in a few states. Good luck this fall with whatever hunts you have on your schedule.

Just curious what release you were using on this hunt. Awesome hunt! Did a little packing for an outfitter in Idaho right out of high school. Unforgettable! Congrats on a great bull!

The horses will make a lot of noise if predators come around. Predators are always a risk when out hunting.

once you harvest the meat you need.do you leave the rest of the animal on the field?

I dont hunt, but im taking an interest in these videos and maybe one day ill learn how to! But i have a question. When he shoots the deer I see something flying off to the right of the deer, is that the arrow? If so how does the deer die if the arrow missed?
